[Blindtlk] braille

[Jude DaShiell]

Those that did not learn braille studied with tapes and their inability to 
spell becomes immediately apparent when it comes time to apply for a job. 
Aside from that, stem jobs are off limits to those that have never used 
print and cannot read and write braille.  Cooking is at best more 
difficult since following a recipe in the kitchen requires extra hardware 
which may be damaged by activities in the kitchen food getting into tape 
or cartridge players messing up the controls and cooking isn't forgiving 
in terms of time or temperature requirements for certain recipes.  Law 
school is off limits for those who will not use braille since you have to 
be able to make your own notes and be able to read them quickly especially 
in litigation settings.  Braille can help with passwords management and is 
a pretty secure system for those that don't read braille too in that 
application.  Higher math is off limits without braille since solving 
complex equasions and inequalities often requires several lines of writing 
and depending on the instructor may also require explanation for why each 
step was done.  Braille can help with labeling of computer disks making 
them easier to locate in the future too.
If you don't read braille and don't read print, you can't play cards with 
anyone.
